Blogger Secret Ingredient Reveal

I am hosting Week 76 of the Blogger Secret Ingredient! Seriously honored and excited here – I love, love, love surprises, so this foodie blog event ranks as one of my favorites.

This week’s ingredient is …

Sunflower Seeds!

The rules say to pick a food that is “readily available and not too expensive.” This forgotten seed, overshadowed by hype for flax, hemp, and other “superfoods,” is certainly cheap and easy to find. Plus, it offers a host of healthy vitamins and minerals including plenty of Vitamin E, magnesium, thaimin, selenium, and more.

Show me your recipes!

To participate please submit a recipe featuring sunflower seeds or sunflower seed butter before midnight Sunday, April 25th by emailing alisa at godairyfree dot org. I will accept recipes with these seeds whole, shelled, ground, toasted, chopped, or in “butter” form. The winner and next host will be announced Monday, April 26th.

Yay congrats Alisa! I’m so excited you listed sunflower seed butter b/c that is seriously one of my favs and the first thing I thought of when you said (typed?) sunflower seeds! I’ll have to think on this one b/c I don’t know if I have a recipe! I usually jsut smear it on stuff or sprinkle seeds on my salad or have as a snack. But you’re right – they are unsung heroes!!
